Autumn in the Carinthian Alps

   

This weekend, I visited my grandparents who are living in the mountains of Carinthia, a federal state in Austria close to Italy. I have already been up here in Summer (click here to see how this place looks like in summer ) but the alps look even more enchanted in autumn ! As soon as I arrived, I wandered through the woods around the cottage in order to get some shots of the trees that turned from green to yellow, brown and even red. I continued my little tour a bit deeper into the woods, where the trees are already bald and ended up at the shore of a lovey stream where I stayed for nearly an hour to take photos :D

Well and when I came back to the cottage, I had dinner together with the family followed by some hot chocolate and traditional music in front of the fireplace: I wish I could spent more than just a weekend getting away from the everyday life at this magical place but unfortunately, I have to get back to Vienna…

I am already excited to see this place in winter when I am coming back :D
